This may sound weird, but when I watch those videos, on an objective level I find her interesting, and on a subjective level, I cringe and feel distinctly "yuck." And THAT is such a good thing, because it means I'm beginning to get better at not snuffing out my instinctive reactions to people, but I also believe I can continue to try to get along with people regardless of their personality type.

Same with the Natalie Portman thread--I don't believe she's IEI, no way, as she's always rubbed me distinctly the wrong way, especially in instances where she plays "herself" and the one time I saw her IRL. Doesn't mean I don't think she's very cool, but I don't wanna be around her, and I really don't think she's Beta.

Ah, progress ...
